Friends. Photography. Adventure.

Dilly Dilly

“Lavender blue, dilly-dilly 
Lavender green 
If I were king, dilly-dilly, I’d need a queen…”

I’ve been sitting in a hammock doing some googling and I’ve learnt that dilly was a medieval word for ‘cheers’ but it’s also an obsolete word for delightful. And apparently Cleopatra used lavender as a tool of seduction, women used it to “inflame” their husbands and sex workers used it to attract clients. So there you go, some old etymology and some lessons in seduction. Oh, and here’s me and @19syllables naked in the lavender fields. Cheers! I hope we delight and seduce you!

Sinful Sunday

    Great pics!

  2. 19syllables

    Another lovely day out with you. It feels great to have kicked off the naked photography season off in such beautiful surroundings. Cream tea and filthy conversation too; we’re so damn wholesome/subversive. xx

  3. Posy Churchgate

    Beautiful & so inventive – can always rely on your images on both counts!

  4. silverdom

    Oh my! What beautiful images of two beautiful women.

  5. Bibulousone

    How utterly delightful!

  6. NPE

    There is a Dairy Queen chain around here where their signature treat is a Dilly Bar. Never knew! Though you two don’t need any lavender to be seductive, I dare say! And do I spy some unsuspecting people in the background? Naughty, naughty! Or dilly dilly!

  7. Focused and Filthy

    What glorious images. Both so warm and inviting, glad you had such a productive day out!

    Made me wondering of a field full of people in the same pose, would be quite a sight .

  21. DeviantSuccubus

    Those pictures are wonderful! They express freedom, beauty, connection and I can almost smell the flowers!

  22. Mr Sailor

    I have to ask, lavender or other, does @19syllables need anything more to add to her attractiveness?

    • exposing

      She’s does shine in that lavender and as a model. She’s less reliable behind the camera – we had to do my leg shot twice because first time she was holding the camera the wrong way! Our days out are always ridiculous!

  23. Steeled Snake

    What beautiful shots and perspectives! Love the colors too!

  24. Molly

    You most definitely do. There are Lavender Fields not that far from me but I have not managed to explore them…. yet

  25. Littlegem

    Stunning photos they are both brilliant. I don’t particularly like the smell of lavender but the colour is so pretty.

  26. kisungura

    What beautiful images! I love lavender so much and you look so carefree and relaxed, stunning!

  27. ETCostello

    Seduce? I think you’ve both already done that long ago. Captivating. Rapt with attention and wild imaginings
